So, I just spent the last two days playing RE4 with a friend. We only stopped to watch a movie, go grab a CD and sleep. Finished in just under 22 hours, I believe. I'm glad I got it off of my list of games I need to finish, but I'm sad that a second playthrough will lack the atmosphere of the first.
Anyways, I figured we could all talk about it, because everyone loves RE4.

I thoroughly look forward to 5
Which version you playing, btw? The extra stuff you unlock from finishing is pretty awesome, especially on wii or ps2. All versions have merceneries though, which is goddam fantastic.
It's perfect.
Needless to say, he likes it.
Are you, by any chance, 4 years old?
Anywho, there is literally no one who should not play this game.
It... it was good.
They add a lot - aiming becomes a breeze and headshots become really easy to pull off - it turns Krauser in merceneries into a monster (arrow to the face kills all but the toughest dudes in one shot). It doesn't make it too easy though, it just feels right.
Also note that the wii version has the difficulty of the PAL cube/PS2 versions, so there are fewer drops and enemies are sometimes tougher. Plus you get Seperate Ways, which is actually quite good, about 10 hours long, although it does suffer in that anything made for the PS2 version didn't have the poly count or texture quality upped for the wii version (so Ada's shotgun looks a bit chunky, and the boat chapter has pretty poor quality textures).
It also has a movie viewer so you can rewatch any of the cutscenes whenever you want.
Including my lost virginity.
Nothing is so endlessly replayable.
Filthy heathen.
Wut
what about that guy who came to the forums all the time, complaining about how Capcom betrayed him and RE by changing the game play? He'd rant and rant and rant... It was hilarious.
Well when they turn horrible gameplay into great gameplay, somebody is bound to get hurt.
I was always surprised he could get internet in his afghanistan cave.
the aiming system was nice but damn i hated the camera and it felt very clunky. probably just need more time on it
It takes getting used to, but the control system actually works quite well. Turning takes a bit too long.
And if you hate the camera, well....there's no fixing that.
Listen, if the controls in Killer 7 became second nature to me, the controls in RE4 can become second nature to you. 30 minutes isn't enough to adjust to a control system so different from everything else.
Gamecube was terrible for that.
I fell in love.
I shit my pants, cried then fell in love. Perfect relationship.
It was a stick.
Your dad wanted to see Resi4 for the story.... ? o_O
The knife fight where you to had to hit the right buttons to pass the cutscene was less awesome however.
Largely because it felt like a movie to him, with the way the story presented itself. And yeah, he liked watching me shoot shit too, trust me!
What.
That was one of my favorite parts.
Have a complimentary
I remember the first time playing that I was sooo happy I had Luis there because fighting off scores of zombies locked in a house by myself is something from my nightmares. First playthrough was such a rush, just got through it by sheer desperation and lots of "oh fuck" moments.
After multiple playthroughs though it becomes like the zen moments mentioned in the other thread. Using the shotgun like a surgeon and able to knife your way through 5 ganados and roundhousing every single one of them.
It was a stick.
Yeah I think if I did the Krauser fight again I would get angry.
It did look awesome though.

it's just so unfair
